Sunlight cut through the hall, catching the dust that swirled around Telemachus where he stood balanced on a stool, his thoughts miles away with his father's ghost. The air changed—a low groan of the heavy doors, then the scent of wine and sweat. Antinous entered, swaying on his feet, his cheeks flushed with drink and contempt. Eurymachus stumbled after him, hands raised in a weak attempt to restrain, only to be shoved aside like an afterthought. The leader of the suitors moved with a lazy, predatory grace, his gaze sliding past you entirely as he closed in on the boy lost in his dreams.
